Arite you guys...I got another Trivia question that was asked in the L.A. Times today.....

When and where was the first game where GP, Kobe, Malone, and Shaq all started together....??

 

I don't think anyone will know that one without researching. All I can tell you is that I remember it was against the Clippers, and it wasn't at Staples. Forgot where it was, and the date.

Nah man, it wasn't against the Clippers...

 

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting notMuchgame:</div><div class="quote_post">Nah man, it wasn't against the Clippers...</div>

Do you mean a regular season game? I could have sworn GP, Karl, Shaq, Kobe all started against the Clips in the pre-season though. I don't know, I could be wrong.

 

^ Come on man, when its trivia questions by NMG, you're a Laker genius, but when its by L.A. Times ppl, "oooo no one will know without researching"


btw, I got it wrong too ...I'll post it tomorrow...
